And then also like I think today more than ever, things like back pain and like being exposed to the sun and cancer and people that care about that's now a part of the equation.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, there's photos of like a truck driver who's been driving for 30 years, one half their face, the other half's face is exposed to the sun.

Right.

A more interesting or even more stark stat, mining is 1% of the labor pool globally, 8% of work-related fatalities.

Do you think people are rushing to work in mines when they hear stats like this?

Most major mines have a fatality regularly, which means once, twice a year, three times a year.

And if you ever visit a mine, you'll see that everything is based around safety because once you experience one of your coworkers dying,

then you're like, what am I doing here?

There's other jobs I can take.

I understand you're trying to enumerate for the audience, but these are not good jobs.

The best evidence is this is not a mining podcast.

This is not a podcast about, hey, long-haul trucking is so great.

They're just not attractive jobs.

We know multiple companies that have driver-out goals.

Right now.

So, like, they're working to get drivers out right now, you know, without going into our own details.

Yeah, I think so.

I mean, the the the product that we're announcing, I think it's probably come out around with this time is called Dana.

So there's you can just simplify everything that applied intuition does into two buckets, which is the we've been talking mostly about the models that go on the machines, then this is we say onboard software or onboard AI, then there's off board AI, this is the tools to design and develop these same systems, the models that actually go on the machines.
